A few years back Al and I got into some slab crappie out here in California. What a great day on the water with Al.

ICAST 2013 Al Lindner vs Johnny Bench

Not only was it the place where deals were made, but where new companies could make or break their futures. Sadly, it hasn’t been like that for a very long time.
